DRI #105 - SUNFOREST
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
On November 16, 2007, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners rendered to the Tampa
Bay Regional Planning Council Resolution No. 07-210. The Resolution reflects an amendment adopted
by the Board on November 13, 2007.
BACKGROUND
On February 9, 1988, Hillsborough County granted a Development Order (Resolution #88-0035) to
Shannon Properties for a 40-acre office and hotel development located in northwest Hillsborough County
at Eisenhower Boulevard and Hillsborough Avenue. The development is approved to contain 1.2 million
square feet (sq. ft.) of office space, 28,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and a 300-room hotel. The
Development Order was amended twice (Resolutions #88-0162 & #88-0205) to resolve issues associated
with appeals of the original Development Order.
The Development Order has been previously amended 12 times, the latest occurring on December 14,
2004 (Resolution No. R04-209). The amendments have cumulatively: reduced the project’s proportionate
share amount and altered the required transportation impact mitigation; extended the buildout dates
associated with Phases 2 & 3 and the Development Order expiration date; added 11.28-acre and 3.68-acre
parcels; adopted, modified and updated a land use equivalency matrix; eliminated the former requirement
for surface water quality monitoring (Condition IV.G); and recognized “Trade/Vocational School” as an
authorized land use. The Development Order expires on February 24, 2013.
The approved phasing schedule is as follows:

Council'sFinal Report previously adopted on April 13, 1987.
